I have read on these forums that in RES, its easy to tell the sex of males by the long nails.
i was just wondering it this is the same in cooters. i have a florida cooter which i was told was male, but he has short claws, he is only a small size compared to his tank mate which we know is female. so i was just wonderign whether the nail thing is the same in the cooters aswell or just teh sliders?

Yes, the same thing applies with cooters. However, a male cooter might not show secondary sexual characteristics (long nails and longer, thicker tail) until it's 5", where as male sliders usually start showing them at 4".
